Swimming Pool Enclosures

Since computers have existed, there are no standard dimensions anymore. Before computers a full day was need to make up drawings and do the calculations. This can now be done in 10 minutes using a computer.

How long does it take for delivery?

This depends on the time of year. low season is 3 - 4 weeks and high season it can be 3 or 4 months.

What is the best time for me to order an enclosure?

Generally we have less work during the winter which can have an effect on the price.

Every effort is made to meet delivery dates, but these are sometimes affected by unforeseen circumstances.

Every order will be supplied at the agreed price in so far as delivery follows within 365 days of the date of order. This allows you to place an order at this year's price and have it installed next year.

It is very unusual indeed if any is needed. If something should happen we would expect to have a fitter with you within 3 days.

Generally not - as the building is not a permanent structure however permission would be required for any commercial use, or for a location in a sensitive area. .

A level paved area on a concrete bed.

On an existing paved level surround or in the case of a new installation when the paving is completed.

An 8m wide element weighs approximately 340kg. An 8m wide end weighs approximately 700kg.

16mm triple thickness ' No Drop' polycarbonate. No Drop is a surface treatment which avoids water droplets forming on the underside.

6mm toughened glass to the sides with 6.4mm laminated glass to the ends.

It is recommended that the enclosure be bolted down for the winter months but not otherwise.

No, this is due to the floor rails and the stainless steel reinforcement at the joints.

By means of a high pressure water jet.

This will reduce the condensation almost totally. Using a cover will also reduce the maintenance inside the enclosure.

This is not possible as all the sections slide into one another. If possible it is better to slightly incline the paving away from the pool.

Manually. Every enclosure needs 3 - 4 days of assembly in the workshop and a similar time to erect on site. All this work is done by the same team so care is taken in the workshop to avoid any problems on site.

By means of a polypropylene brush held in a stainless steel profile for normal enclosures and by means of the brush and PVC seal for the half enclosures.

You will never completely keep out all insects or leaves etc. due to the nature of the enclosure. However due to having fly - screens and the floor rails that sit flush on the ground with the plinth profile seal running the whole length, we have tried to keep invasion to a minimum.

Yes we do and we can prepare plans and estimates for which we make no charge but this has to be for a serious enquiry.

Each side of the beam can be opened independently, which makes it possible to be opened and closed by one person. This type of construction is more rigid and resistant to snow and wind loads.

Yes, if the pool is adjacent to the house. We can build one side or one end against the house.

Each section is mounted on wheels and runs on a l3mm high track. The use of a rail decreases the mechanical resistance of the enclosure.

All colours are possible without a price supplement. Extra is charged for more than one colour.

With all the sections going one way it will be necessary to detach the front before being able to push the sections clear of the pool. It takes 10 minutes to detach the front and 2 minutes to slide all the sections forward and then 15 to 20 minutes to put the front back in position.

No, in this case you slide the sections each way from the centre which takes 2 minutes both for opening and closing.

Certainly very easily with the central opening or beam model.

As standard, 2 sliding doors, one at each end. ,

This is possible with some models but the costs would be extra.

Every door has a child safety lock. The doors can be locked from the inside by a latch.

Thanks to our floor rails and our self-lubricating wheels, this is very easy.

We can supply fly screens as an extra. This allows ventilation without trapping flies in the enclosure.

As all our enclosures are built to order we can guarantee whatever height you need.

You have two. The first one is a 10 year guarantee on the polycarbonate roof and the reinforced glazing. The second one is for 25 years on the metallic structure against storm winds up to 150 km/h and snow loading up to 120 kg/m².

We think not as you will only need to sweep the pool 3 or 4 times a year.

We all know how the temperatures in our cars are raised when exposed to sunlight. Even on a bright day, without sun, the air temperature will rise as will the water temperature.

At the beginning of the season, the water temperature will rise between 3° & 4° F (2°C) every day the sun is shining. 84°F (28°C) is the normally accepted water temperature for a pool with an enclosure.

Yes, but you will need to heat the water.

To keep the pool at 84°F (28°C) the average pool will use between 450 gallons (2000 lts) and 650 gallons (3000 lts) depending on the severity of the winter.

Not necessarily. The water will heat the air by radiation.

If the pool water temperature is higher than the air temperature there will be condensation.

We have enclosures in different locations throughout the UK and visits can be arranged by appointment.

Yes - that you didn't do it earlier!

If you have any further questions we shall be pleased to respond to them.
